They may not be for long however. Oracle just became a very formidable opponent with their acquisition of Bharosa yesterday. Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying Oracle wasn't formidable before the acquisition. But the issue now is that Bharosa does things that IBM's suite does not.

That's right. I said it. An IBM competitor has useful functionality that IBM Tivoli does not provide (here comes all the abuse from my ex-IBM colleagues).
